I Quit!

What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

1 day Job Man
Yes it's true that i have had 3 jobs now where i only worked 1 day, i think once you get over the initial hurdle it's a lot easier the second time round!
My finest had to be when i was offered the job of Assistant Manager of Footlocker in Reading. Before i go further i should point out that i was the only white member of staff and i felt like a bit of an outsider from the first minute. The rest of the staff seemed to feel that their manager had betrayed the brotherhood by employing a white man in a trainer shop, regardless of my basketball prowess (i can dunk on 9ft).
Long story short nobody said a word to me all day, even when i spoke to them, they just turned round and walked off.
I left the shop that night, still smiling politely at the manager as i walked away knowing i wouldn't be going back.
The funny thing is, they must have guessed my leaving was a bit suspect because they paid me 6 weeks wages, about 1500 quid in the end. I said nothing, they said nothing, but i think they knew...

Aww
I wouldn't have left silently, I would have taken great enjoyment in 1) Pointing out they were being racist
2) As an assistant manager, telling higher ups that the the staff are being racist
3) Made sure they all got a bollocking and hopefully got their jobs put on the line.

This winds me up.
Do that to anything but a caucasian, and there would be screams and writs for racism flying around.
*Thinks he may have mentioned this before.*
